Dean DeLeo -- guitarist for the rock band Stone Temple Pilots -- is clapping back at his estranged wife who has accused him of being a violent alcoholic ... saying she's trying to smear him the way she did her ex.

Dean filed new legal docs in his divorce case and claims Jenn DeLeo's up to her old tricks. In docs, obtained by TMZ, Dean says when he was first talking to Jenn she would bitch that her then-husband was very mean and would throw her around and dangle her over a stairwell.

Dean says years later he got to know Jenn's ex and says he's a gentleman and not the mean violent man Jenn painted him out to be. Dean says Jenn's now attempting to do the exact same thing to him.

Dean denies he's ever been abusive and claims her cheating allegations are BS ... adding he's been clean and sober from drugs and booze since 2013. As for Jenn's claim Dean once took their baby daughter June into the ocean while he was drunk ... he says it's a bold-face lie.

Dean says don't just take his word for it. The musician attached declarations from his teenage son, ex-wife and current girlfriend ... all of whom vouch for him as a dad with a strong bond with his kids.

Gabriel "G-Rod" Rodriguez, the actor who stepped in the middle of Machine Gun Kelly's beef with Eminem ... is absolutely dying to step into the Octagon for a one-on-one fight with MGK.

G-Rod was already training in the gym Monday morning when he reiterated there's no need for lawyers to seek retribution for Kelly's crew beating the crap out of him ... he just wants to settle the score with his fists!

If you're not sold on Gabriel's fighting skills ... check out the video for a preview of his MMA moves. If you're in MGK's camp, think about hiring a trainer.

G-Rod explains his reasons for confronting MGK Friday at an Atlanta restaurant ... and why Kelly's diss track pissed him off in the first place.

G-Rod clearly knows his way around a punching bag ... and says he's even willing to drop weight classes to get on Kelly's level. So far, Kelly's not responding.

9/17 -- We've obtained Mac's death certificate which lists his official time of death as 11:51 AM PT on the morning of September 7. His occupation was listed as musician for 11 years. Mac will be buried at The Homewood Cemetery in Pittsburgh.

Mac Miller's cause of death is still officially unknown ... according to his death certificate.

TMZ's learned the doc, filed with L.A. County, notes the cause of death is "deferred" ... meaning the L.A. County Coroner is awaiting toxicology results.

The point of a death certificate with a deferred cause of death ... so the family can either bury or cremate the body. We've learned the Coroner has already released the body to Mac's family.

The toxicology results typically take 4 to 6 weeks.

TMZ broke the story ... the rapper was found dead of an apparent overdose last week in a bedroom at his San Fernando Valley home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities were alerted by a friend who called 911 from Mac's home. Emergency dispatch audio revealed first responders were called for a patient in cardiac arrest.

As we first reported ... cops think Mac's house was swept clean before cops searched it for clues as to how Mac died. Our sources say it makes no sense to them that someone who had consumed a fatal dose would have the foresight to sweep the house of pill bottles, illegal drugs as well as drug paraphernalia on the off chance they might die.

Webbie has no regrets about publicly shaming his teenage sons on the Internet after catching them in bed with a girl -- and he says their punishment fits the crime.

The Louisiana MC was on "TMZ Live" Monday to explain what led up to his live streaming his harsh verbal spanking on his 2 sons, their guy friend and a girl. Webbie described the scene he walked in on around 4 AM -- all 4 teens in bed together.

Webbie says his kids' buddy tried booking it at one point and was ready to leave the girl behind. It appears he got all the kids back in the house though, and eventually got a hold of their parents.

He also tells us about the first wave of discipline he's rolled out for his boys -- and apparently, there's more to come. Like they said in 'Next Friday' ... no more locked doors!

Jared Leto is calling attention to the insane amounts of money a select group of fashion models pull in, and it must be very upsetting to him ... 'cause he won't let it go.

We got Jared Sunday at LAX still rocking this pink hoodie sweatshirt. On the back, it lists the salaries of the highest-paid models -- from Kendall Jenner's $22 million down to Gigi Hadid with $9.5 mil. He was first spotted wearing it around L.A. last week, and at LAX we asked what message he's trying to make.

The Oscar winner obviously has some kinda issue with the money the models are making ... especially because he keeps wearing the hoodie.

The sweatshirt references Forbes' list of the 10 highest-earning models from June 2016 to June 2017.

Only the Top 5 cracked Jared's sweatshirt.

-- Kendall Jenner, $22 million

-- Gisele Bundchen, $17.5 million

-- Chrissy Teigen, $13.5 million

-- Adriana Lima, $10.5 million

-- Gigi Hadid, $9.5 million.

Most models don't come close to these salaries. So, maybe his issue is with the 1 percenters of the industry?

Machine Gun Kelly thinks Eminem needs some target practice ... 'cause Em "missed" when he fired back at MGK in their escalating feud.

MGK mocked Eminem onstage Sunday night, wearing a shirt with the logo from Marshall's extremely homophobic diss track, "Killshot."

Kelly made sure the crowd at the Amway Center in Orlando knew exactly how he feels about Eminem, screaming "F**k Marshall Mathers" as he opened the set with his own song aimed at Em.

MGK takes a shot at Em's age (he's 45), yelling, "The real Slim Shady can't stand up."

Apparently, Orlando is siding with Kelly ... 'cause the crowd goes nuts.

Smart move by MGK's tour manager ... there's no stop scheduled for Detroit.

An actor named G-Rod did Em's bidding Friday night. He called MGK a "p***y" for his shot at Em's daughter. Two hours later, Kelly's crew beat the crap out of G-Rod.

Who runs the world?!?!

Justin Verlander, apparently ... 'cause dude just did everything to prove he was better than you -- dominating the D-Backs and then hitting the Jay and Bey concert with his supermodel wife!!

The Astros superstar struck out 11 in Houston's huge win Sunday ... and celebrated with Kate Upton in some luxury box seats at NRG Stadium for the hottest tour on the planet afterward.

J.V. didn't seem to overexert himself after seven strong innings ... and a very pregnant Kate made sure to let everyone know the only thing she was drunk on was love (with Verlander).

Good times.

By the way ... the two have made postgame date nights a thing lately -- remember their victory dog walk after the World Series last year?!

Verlander ... FLAWLESS!!

Webbie isn't down for his teenage sons having sex under his roof, a fact his kids definitely know now -- if they didn't before -- because their dad fully shamed them on the Internet.

The Louisiana rapper says he busted his 2 kids, a male friend, and a female friend all in bed -- and then proceeded to conduct an interrogation live on his social media. Webbie repeatedly tells the kids, "You f**ked up!!" When one of the kids, not his, tried to leave he yelled, "Don't get to running. Don't run out this motherf*****!"

Webbie panned his camera around the room showing all the kids' faces -- we blurred them for this post.

He verbally dressed down the girl too, for being in the bed, saying ... "Girl, that's crazier than a motherf*****. You better stop."

It's unclear if Webbie ever got a hold of any of the parents.

Jennifer Lopez here with a friendly reminder ... peach season's still poppin'.

J Lo showed off her stunning bod with these pics over the weekend ... schooling the Instagram world how to truly execute poolside pics. The peachy swimwear perfectly wrapping around her flawless body is also another reminder of why she's always working out ... even on vacation.

Jennifer clearly had one thing in mind -- her captions and hashtags on the pic were definitely themed: "Everything's just peachy" and added "#tangerinedream #peachesNCream #topnaughty #suitsandfruits #throwingshades #doublebuns."

Goodness gracious.

J Lo will be wrapping up her Las Vegas residency later this month at Planet Hollywood ... so, the pics are a great promo for her big finish.

We're guessing Vegas feels very much like A-Rod does -- hate to see her go, but love watching her leave.

Meek Mill has a song about Colin Kaepernick in the works -- saying the way the QB's been treated by the NFL is essentially a financial "lynching."

One of the lyrics -- "They won’t lynch him by hanging from a tree. They lynch his bank account."

Meek gave a preview of the song to Page Six ... saying the song will appear on his upcoming album. Other lines include ...

-- "They told Kaep to stand up if you want to play for a team, and most of his teammates said the same thing."

-- "Back in the ’30s you would be killed if you kneeled. They won’t kill you now, they just take you out of the deal."

A strong defense of his friend -- as we previously reported, Colin and Meek spoke over the phone while the rapper was locked up.

In fact, while he was imprisoned, Meek joined Colin's philanthropic offensive -- each pledging $10,000 to Philadelphia's Youth Service Inc.

Cardi B says a transphobic meme that showed up on her Facebook page this weekend wasn't her doing and blames a former "team member" who had access to her account.

The meme in question is a highly edited screen grab of Rolf from the show "Ed, Edd n Eddy" looking out of a window. A caption on the meme reads ... "I hope nobody see this tr***y leave my house." It was posted on Cardi's official FB Sunday with laughing emojis above ... but has since been deleted.

Cardi later tweeted out an explanation, saying a former team member has been the only one with access to the account for the past year and a half. She also says that her current official Facebook page is an old account -- but there aren't any other profiles of hers with a blue checkmark.

The rapper didn't elaborate beyond that, but she seems to have regained control of her Facebook account. More posts have been thrown up since news of the controversy first broke.

Carrie Underwood revealed some tragic news this weekend about her fertility issues over the past couple years -- during which she suffered three miscarriages.

The country music star shared her emotional story on CBS Sunday Morning, where she got into some of the meanings behind her new single "Cry Pretty." She says one major hardship was unsuccessfully carrying 3 babies to term, and still having to put out new music. Carrie explains sometimes you put on a happy face ... even in sadness.

Carrie also suffered a serious injury late last year that required her to get about 50 stitches in her face. Needless to say ... it's been rough for her for a multitude of reasons.

Ariana Grande is looking for ways to deal with Mac Miller's death, and one way she found is to embrace her ex-boyfriend's own words.

Ariana posted a tribute to Mac Saturday, saying she was listening to one of the cuts from his album, "Swimming."

The track -- "Ladders" -- has the lyric, "Somehow we gotta find a way/no matter how many miles it takes."

Grande posted the artwork from the album, but added storm clouds ... clearly for emotional effect.

Too Short thinks the actor who got beat up by Machine Gun Kelly's crew had it coming because saying to someone "You're a p***y" ... well, them's fightin' words.

We got Short out in WeHo Saturday night leaving Delilah, and he knew all about the story we broke ... that actor G-Rod bellied up to a bar in Atlanta Friday night, saw MGK and went off on him for calling Eminem's then-16-year-old daughter "hot." G-Rod told us, as the father of 3, he was appalled.

As we reported, MGK's crew -- whom G-Rod calls "goons" -- beat the crap out of him and now the cops are involved.

Short makes it clear ... he would have done the same thing Kelly did and unleashed his crew.

It'll be interesting to see how MGK responds to G-Rod's challenge to settle their beef in the Octagon.

Adele walked out of a fancy Malibu restaurant on what may have been the most beautiful evening of the summer, but by the looks of it, she was ready for a storm.

The singer's head was almost fully covered Saturday night as she left Nobu by the beach. You see a sliver of hair, but that's about it.

She's with a guy, who looks like he may be security.

It's interesting ... Adele has not been much in public. You'll recall she said a while back she was done with touring. In fact, she canceled the 2 final shows of last year's tour.

Post Malone oughta know -- if ya dance with the devil, you're gonna get cursed, and this super creepy video explains why his life feels like "Final Destination" lately.

Months before Post's private jet nearly crashed, his Rolls-Royce got totaled and armed crooks targeted him ... the rapper was hanging with "Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans and something known as the world's most haunted object. What could go wrong, right?

Zak tells us the close encounter went down in June at his Haunted Museum. The object is called the dybbuk box. Dybbuk is Yiddish for "malicious spirit" and the box inspired the horror flick, "The Possession." Sooo ... totally cool.

After downing some beers, Zak says he took off the protective case and for the first time ever, felt compelled to touch it. He says Post was freaked out -- you can see it in the video -- and did NOT want any part of the box.

He probably definitely shoulda stayed out the freakin' room, but didn't ... and when Zak touched the box, Post touched Zak's shoulder. Bagans says that's enough to trigger a curse, and it explains why Post screamed and pulled Zak out of the room.

Anyway, Zak believes it's absolutely what's behind Post's string of death-defying incidents -- the emergency landing, the scary car crash and the home invasion.

Post told us he thinks God might hate him, but our advice is to lay off the dybbuk, bro.
